Approved authors can expect a 60-90-minute signing time published in conference print and online media, and for your books to be on display and available for purchase in the Authors Connect bookshop throughout the conference at no charge to you. You are responsible for shipping or carrying books to and from the conference site. Once approved to participate, you will be required to be a WAI member in good standing through March 2026. The deadline to renew should your membership expire prior to that date is Friday, January 16, 2026.

You can expect complimentary access to the Authors Connect booth and exhibit hall, and a discounted rate to attend education sessions, but will need to pay for any add-on events (Tours, Pioneer Hall of Fame Celebration Dinner, etc.)
